ROBIN ABRAMOVIC
He is an internationally renowned artist, curator and activist born in Vienna/Austria based in London/England. He is the founder and creator of the Bambsy and Herobin projects which are known as Balkan Kru. As an urban artist with a focus on sociocritical art, muralism and portraiture, Robin perpetuates his art using various techniques in urban space.
These include stencils, paintings, projections, temporary or light installations and slogans painted on walls. He has been commissioned to paint all over Europe for museums, street art festivals, companies and other cultural institutions, including Museum of Modern Art Graz, Red Bull, Evangelical Church of Austria, Embassy of Austria (London and Sarajevo) and is member of the international art collective Micro Galleries. His urban artwork got featured on BBC, Al Jazeera, several local and international newspapers and also in the DuMont Travel Guide. It should be noted that Robin was the very first Austrian urban artist to be allowed to paint on a church in his home country which is under protection of cultural heritage.
Robin also curated or participated in Street Art festivals, cultural heritage projects, exhibitions and Urban Art related projects in Iceland, Germany, Spain, England, Austria, Italy, Indonesia, Nepal, Bosnia, Croatia and Serbia.
His fanbase spreads all over the world and the reach of his art has evolved, thanks to the internet and social media, to millions of clicks where he is very popular. Through this reach and popularity of his art, he can constantly participate in new projects or festivals, and gets international commissioning work, including the attention of galerists and international art collectors.
Robin personally wants to stimulate his audience to think and feel with his art to point out problems of our society. Due to the wide range of his work from small, critical stencils to high-rise murals, Robin finds for himself the perfect mix of all kinds of urban art, which he mastered in the last years to perfection.
Privately, Robin has fulfilled his wishes and is optimistic about the future. Years of dealing with the problems of this world have led him to see the world as what it is and accepted it. From a bird's eye perspective, he analyzes our society and comments in his own way on it. He likes to play video games, listen to Left Boy and sleeps as long as he wants .. he does not use cell phones nor can he be reached by smartphone.
Robin loves what he is doing.. and this makes him happy.
